The Answer is A. Christ is/was not physical. Christ is your wonderful imagination. All things are possible through you imagination. It is the only way to the unseen world. Through Christ.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"(Einstein)

I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. (Galatians 12)

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side has made Him known.

[Wester1967]

The Bible is a bunch of agreed upon books that were politically correct as of the council of Nicea. They left out many competing texts, like the gospel of Timothy and the gospel of Judas because those books put a bug up the arse of a bunch of dudes wresting for political control of the church.


Most US people are completely overtaken and consumed by the 1611 King James English translation. Which in many cases are copies of copies of texts which were also politically edited at the hands of the translators.

Which one?

There is no such thing as "the bible" it's "a bible".

Each denomination has it's own, and none were read, authored or written by the alleged central character - Jesus. Who wasn't even Christian, and neither were any of his half brothers.

I love it for its moral...
I am Hindu but an atheist so I read all type of religious books for fun/knowledge
I love the Bible...
It was like a great fiction story series... A YA novel!!!

[Asker]

Yeah that is what it is. Christ is not historical. Christ is your imagination. That is what the Bible is talking about. All things are possible through christ = all things are possible through you imagination.

[15_Debo]

yeah

[suisuiola]

Symbolism, stories that tell a message…

[Jlegacy]

The bible contains God's word. It is historically accurate. It is genuinely helpful. It is powerfully inspirational. It is fundamentally illuminating.

[Asker]

In what ways is it helpful?

[Jlegacy]

Imagine any problem, the solution is in the word. It taught me about ladies. Taught me about sex. Built skills and talents in me. Gives me food, shelter and clothing. Gave me insight for business and furnished me with clients.

A book that has ruined many a lives causing them to fight their biological nature and ignore observable truths and like all Abrahamic religions led to many rapes, genocides, wars, and pillaging. It ruined human progress and caused us to hate over natural aspects within ourselves.

[Jessica405]

It is a collection of works by one or more people over a period of time. Some may be based on true facts and people. Some may be pure fiction. No one knows, and no one can prove anything much.

For me, it is bullshit until proved true.

[cth96190]

I would encourage you to read Revelation, especially the part about the Mark of the Beast.
You will see today's events in those verses.

[Rachelspiks]

@cth96190 Actually, no, you won't "see today's events" in those verses, because what Revelation is all about has already occurred, and did so during the first century. It was written during the reign of the emperor Domitian in approx. AD 96, and is a coded reference to events that were then, or had recently, taken place (like the destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem by Titus in AD 70).

[Jessica405]

@Rachelspiks Phew! You know a lot more than me! 😊😊😊

[cth96190]

@Rachelspiks
I encourage you to read Revelation again, because you are wrong.
The First Century events do not fit.

[Jessica405]

@cth96190 Sorry. I would not waste my time.

[Rachelspiks]

@cth96190 The events of the 21st century don't fit.

[EmbraceThePain]

To me, it is a book of numerous ancient stories that have provided wisdom for countless people of the past, present, and the future most likely. I’m not religious, but I do see it’s significance in history and human affairs.

[Tamera952]

Something to wipe my ass with, or deface when I find them in hotel rooms.

[Asker]

Lmao

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Inspiration for my writing. Lots of good material that nobody seems to want to use.

Oh well. More for me.

[AlexanderAnttila]

The living Word of God, God's voice in the world. And the truth!

[Anpu23]

The bible is both a partial historical record and an allegory

[Exterminatore]

Both historical and spiritual truth. It is the word of God.

[This_Is_My_Opinion8]

A book written by senile old men hundreds of years ago. That some people still try to use as source of information and wisdom.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The 100% inspired word of God and historical truths.

[hhadeshatesme]

A random book that has no meaning to me

[Asker]

It's obviously not random. It's the most known book of all time and that's cause you don't understand it. You will rarely meet a religious person who understands it even remotely.

[hhadeshatesme]

I didn’t say it wasn’t known. I said It’s random. I could care less about it just as much as most books. I’m not religious it has no meaning to me.

[MrJMM]

A absolutely meaningless book.
